Researchers at Children’s
Hospital in Boston have launched the CLARITY Challenge -- a $25,000
competition intended to set and advance standards for clinical genomic
analysis and interpretation.
CLARITY stands for Children’s Leadership Award for the Reliable Interpretation and appropriate Transmission of Your genomic information. While the much publicized Archon X PRIZE presented by Medco will offer $10 million in prize money
for essentially reaching the $1,000 genome early next year, the CLARITY
contest focuses squarely on best practices in clinical genome
interpretation and data delivery. The winning team will receive a
$25,000 prize underwritten by Children's Hospital.
